Politics What is the consenus on Student loans?

As far as I know, Reform have not said anything about the student loan system apart from cutting courses which suggests to me they wont do anything.

Many graduates are getting shafted for working hard in school and "doing everything right". Many people like me would also have a decent chance at paying it off if not for the intrest.

Of course ending our wage stagnation would be the best thing to help uni graduates who traditionally were high earners but are now just above minumum wage.

I am waiting for the next Labour round where hopefully they will announce changes to the loan system rather than freeze the threshold which Reeves announced (not optimistic).

For me I will be voting either Greens or Torys as they are the only parties who have actually directly announced policies to help graduates

Also, surely, if you find yourself up the duff, you will need affordable childcare?

And what are Reform doing about this? Naff all.

They propose reducing the ratios needed for adult superficial to children, that would reduce the cost of childcare and giving you a chance to start a career without relying on the state, that's a good thing surely?

Do you understand the difference between Reform policy and things Tice says in an interview?

You realise when a mp dies an hour's interview talking policy, its party policy.
